For the emerging #geoscience #earthscience #geomastadon peeps... We opened our new Geoscience Australia #Laboratory today! Very exciting! And I got to show off a new Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument to our Minister and have her press the 'start' button to analyse a #spodumene #lithium silicate mineral sample. Real #laser pew-pew sounds ensued and we had geochemistry composition results in seconds.
